Sao Filipe is a charming town situated on the west coast of the island of Fogo, one of the ten volcanic islands of the Cape Verde archipelago in the mid-Atlantic Ocean. This quaint location is known for its enchanting volcanic landscapes dominated by the impressive Pico de Fogo, the tallest peak in Cape Verde. The volcano last erupted in 2014, enriching the soil and resulting in fertile vineyards that produce the island's esteemed selection of wines. The town is a panorama of pastel-colored colonial-style houses with breathtaking views of the cobalt sea. Additionally, Sao Filipe is famous for its annual Festival of Bandeira, a lively cultural event attracting tourists and locals alike with its vibrant procession, music, and dance.
